Home Grown Development

Like many other developing countries, India seeks a development policy that provides its people with a sense of unity and nationalism. Education plays a key role in this effort to create some homogeneity, some equality, some sense of unity out of a mass of people of varying linguistic, cultural, ethnic, religious, class, caste, tribal, and other backgrounds. We are concerned here with the implementation of this domestic development policy with respect to Indian tribal peoples. Our case study of education among one tribal population illuminates some of the issues involved and suggests at least part of the solution
